An example of publishing photospheres to Google Maps using Street View Publish API

streetview_publish_api_example

A Street View Publish API example written in node.js for both service account and OAuth2

Note: GPS location MUST be included in exif data
Note 2: Remember to turn on the API for your Google project (if using OAuth2: add your email to allowed list)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/nextu1337/streetview_publish_api_example.git

and then inside the folder

npm install

Configuration and Launch

Service account:

• change credentials.json to whatever Google gives you after creating service account (structure MUST stay the same)
• npm i googleapis streetview-publish-client-libraries-v1
• node service_account.js ./photosphere.jpg

OAuth2

• change CREDENTIALS constant inside oauth2.js to what id and secret Google assigned you
• node oauth2.js ./photosphere.jpg

Why bother making this?

Well the reason is simple, Google doesn't have a SINGLE node.js example for doing this. Sure, you may say "but they link their npm library". Well, that client afaik can only use service accounts and I don't want my photospheres to be uploaded by [e-mail] and actually from MY ACCOUNT
And I know, I could've used their Python examples but guess what, it didn't work at all, import errors and all that stuff, I had to fix it manually and eventually succeeded but I don't like Python all that much

I might write a nicer wrapper in TypeScript
